Is there any way to get pbs/torque to get a node to reboot periodically? Our compute-nodes keep&nbsp; running forever and we suspect that overtime accumulate zombie processes, memory leaks etc. Making each node reboot, say, on an average once every 10 days or so is not a heavy overhead for us. After all a reboot is done in less than 5 minutes. These reboots could also be used by me to do some periodic logfile cleanup etc. {We have shared nodes 8 cores/node; so cannot really wipe out my scratch etc. through an epilouge since another job might be running on the other cpus; and under normal circumstances it is not usual to have a completely free node.}<br>
<br>What&#39;s the best way to auto-schedule this? Ideally I do not want the whole cluster to reboot. In fact, I don&#39;t want to over-specify things at all. Maybe the schedular can choose nodes to reboot based on its scheduling strategy. Just so long as it rebooots each node &quot;on an average&quot; once every 10 days.<br>
<br>Any sugesstions on implimentation?<br><br>-- <br>Rahul<br>
